Job Summary
To assist in providing the highest quality patient care, by instructing Sterile Processing Technicians in the performance of job duties and performing job duties of the Sterile Processing Technician when staffing shortage or workload require it.
The primary purpose of Sterile Processing is to assist in direct patient care by ensuring the OR staff has correct, fully functional, sterile instrumentation delivered in a timely manner consistent with the highest standards of customer service. SPD Techs are asked to perform the four basic departmental functions (decontamination, prep and pack, sterilization, and dispatch) with efficiency, expertise, and accuracy. Further, the manner in which an SPD Tech will perform these duties will be characterized by resourcefulness, determination, courtesy, and professionalism. Techs are expected build and maintain a comprehensive body of knowledge with respect to the standards and procedures associated with the preparation, sterilization, storage, and delivery of surgical instrumentation.
The OR Liason position holds additional responsibilities distinct from either the SPD Tech I or II positions. Primarily, as the title suggests, it focuses on a narrower set of priorities that are delineated by management to achieve a particular goal. Nevertheless, the specialist position is still responsible to maintain the full complement of skills associated with the SPD Tech II job description. Further, the specialist may be called upon from time to time to fill the role of an SPD Tech II if patient needs dictate.
OR Liaison is to provide the SPD and the OR with an expert technician that can serve as a reliable point of professional communication and determined effort, which will enable surgical services to provide a higher quality of patient care. The Liaison assists with issues in the OR until schedule permits them to return to the main SPD to assist with normal tech duties.
Techs are expected to build and maintain a comprehensive body of knowledge with respect to the standards and procedures associated with the preparation, sterilization, storage, and delivery of surgical instrumentation per Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) Associates of perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN), and CDC guidelines.
